ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Bank Fishing.

The schooner Arizona, Captain Barter, ar
rived here yesterday afternoon from a five
week'strip on the Western Banks. The
Arizona's catch amounted to seven or eight
hundred-weight of halibut and between two
and three thousand of cod. Captain Barter
said that fish are very scarce on the Western
Banks and most of the vessels there are get
ting very light fares. Several House Island
fishermen are reported as doing well. There
are also very few fish in the vicinity of
Quero.
A man named McCloud, belonging in the
schooner Contest, was picked up by the Ari-
iona during the trip. McCloud, while out in
his dory, had been unable to find his vessel.
When he was rescued by the Arizona he had
been drifting about for eight hours. Five
days later the Arizona met the Contest and
MeCloud was put on board of his own yes
sci, where his absence had been the cause of
much anxiety as to his safety.
The weather outside has been very thick.
Captain Barter said that from the time he
weighed anchor on the Banks he didn't get
glimpse of land or hear any signals until the
sound Of the fog horn on Portland Head
reached the schooner and the land was soon
after discerned.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Maine Central Train off the Track
The Engineer Seriously Hurt.

About ten o'clock yesterday morning
working train on the Maine Central railroad
was passing over the track at West Falmouth
when the rails spread as the engine was
passing over an embankment. The engine
went over but the cars remained on the rails.
As the engine fell the engineer and fireman
Jumped. The fireman escaped with slight
injuries, but the engineer, Mr.. Wilbur Law
yence of Albion, had his hip fractured and
received serious Internal injuries, as he
struck on pile of rocks rs feet below. A
wrecking train went out from Portland to
clear the track, and while engaged in that
work the passengers on the noon train had
to be transferred, the trains being delayed
about two hours. DR.. Dolly of Falmouth,
attended the injured engineer. who was af-
forwards sent to the Maine General Hospi.
tai. Lawrence is about 80 years old. The
spreading of the rails was probably caused
by the excessive wet weather.

A Reservoir to be Constructed on
MunJoy.

For some time past there has been q feel
ing among many of our citizens that the tax
paid by the Portland Water Company to the
city in comparison to the business done by
them and the capital employed was much
less than the municipal authorities had a
right to expect. 1t is also well known that
Che service in certain parts OF the city has
not fulfilled the requirements of those locali-
ties. Some time ago, it has been stated, the
residents of Munjoy Hill feeling that they
were not receiving an equivalent for their
money paid the Water Company, made an
open complaint and were promised that, If
necessary, the company would make special
efforts to supply all their wants, but nothing
place at that time.
The tax paid by the company to the city is
$4,000 per year. Lately Mayor Chapman and
the members of the Finance Committee had
a series of interviews with President Wes-
colt of the Portland Water Company. and it
is understood that satisfactory arrangements
have been made by the parties. Under
these arrangements the city will receive a
much larger amount in taxes from the CON-
pany in the future, and the company will
proceed to erect large, substantial reser-
vor on Munjoy Hill with capacity of twen-
ty million gallons. The reservoir on Bram-
hall Hill has capacity of ten million gal
Ions, so that it will be seen that the new res
ervoir is twice its size.
Yesterday the bonding of the land for the
new reservoir was completed, and this after
noon the representatives of the Water Com.
pany and the Finance Committee of tile City
Government with the City Solicitor will
meet at the Mayors office to perfect the con
tract which will. probablybe presented to thu
/ regular monthly meeting Of the City Govern
ment Monday night for ratification.

recent rule of the Maine Central Rail-
road requires that all bags of merchandise
sent by railroad in lots under one hundred,
must have separate tags upon them. Before
it only required one tag for the lot. The
clerks think that they will have to get up
early inithe morning to make out the neces-

listless in consequence.

Lewis w. A. johnson, a colored man
formerly of Portland, whose arrest for max
ing rather free use of knife was telegraphed
from Bangor, Thursday, was brought before
Judge Brett of the Bangor Municipal Court
Brooks, the man who was assaulted, proved
an unwilling witness, evidently thinking
that he would be detained in Jail until the
August term if johnson was bound over for
trial in the high court, and as his testimony
was far from satisfactory the Judge fined
johnson $40 and costs for an assault, and
on payment of the same he was released.
When Brooks was locked up Wednesday
night his watch was taken from him by the
police and when it was returned to him after
the trial it was found that he had had a
very narrow escape, the point of Johnson's
knife having penetrated both cases of the
watch Had this fact been known before it
would have gone hard with the prisoner.
